It’s almost becoming laughable. Another Yankee has landed on the disabled list – this time it’s Andy Pettitte’s turn, according to Mark Feinsand of the Daily News. Pettitte felt tightness in his trapezius muscle last night in the fifth inning and was removed from the game. Although the team isn’t worried about the injury and believe it to [...]
For the second time this season, the Yankees lost both their catcher and starting pitcher to injury in the same game. Andy Pettitte would leave after 4.2 innings with tightness in his trapezius muscle, and Chris Stewart followed in the seventh after hurting his groin while running the bases. Back on April 26, New York [...]
This is an absolute no-brainer. The Yankees player of the week from May 6 through May 12 is 1st year Yankee Vernon Wells. In my mind, Wells might have had one of the best weeks of anyone this season. He hit .360 on the week, with 3 HRs, and 7 RBIs. starting the week against Colorado, [...]
New York Yankees 3 — Kansas City Royals 2 Vernon Wells would regain the Yankees lead in tonight’s 3-2 win over the Kansas City Royals. The way tonight’s game was going, it seemed starter Andy Pettitte was much more effective than his previous two starts (11 runs allowed in 9.1 innings). An early [...]
Oakland Athletics 5 – New York Yankees 4 Yankees lose the rubber match by a score of 5-4 to the Oakland Athletics. Andy Pettitte started today’s game and didn’t have his best stuff for a second straight start. The veteran left-hander created a problem in the first inning with a single and a [...]
Houston Astros 9 — New York Yankees 1 Shocked by nine run, 17-hit outburst, Yankees fall by score of 9-1 to Houston Astros, ending the four-game winning streak. Andy Pettitte couldn’t get things going in the right direction for him in tonight’s start. After getting the first two outs of the game, three [...]
New York Yankees 0 — Tampa Bay Rays 3 Yankees held to four hits in tonight’s 3-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Andy Pettitte started tonight’s game, looking to continue his undefeated start to the season. Entering the fifth inning, Pettitte had kept the Rays off the scoreboard and even struck out [...]
The Yankees own an all-time record of 71-58 at Tropicana Field. However, they’ve experienced some trouble at the place the Rays call home in recent memory, according to ESPN Stats and Info. More specifically, ace CC Sabathia has struggled against the Rays and most notably at the Trop. The Yankees are 6-12 in Sabathia’s last [...]
New York Yankees 9 — Toronto Blue Jays 4 The Yankees offense stayed on point to back Andy Pettitte to his third win of the season in tonight’s 9-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Andy Pettitte missed his last start with back spasms so this was his first start in 10 days. [...]
The BronxPinstripes.com Player of the Week for week 2 of the 2013 season is Robinson Cano, and how appropriate that he is selected today on Jackie Robinson Day. After all, he is named after the Brooklyn Dodger great. Cano also wears numbers 24 in honor of Jackie Robinson (inverse of 42). After a slow first [...]
New York Yankees 14 — Cleveland Indians 1 The Yankees put up 18 hits, including five home runs, in tonight’s 14-1 win over the Cleveland Indians. Andy Pettitte got tonight’s start looking to win again after eight strong against the Boston Red Sox. Tonight, he didn’t need to be sharp but he was [...]
April 9, 1996 It was a cold, snowy Opening Day in the Bronx. The Yankees defeated the Kansas City Royals, 7-3. Starter Andy Pettitte allowed 3R in 6.1IP (6H, 2BB), earning the win. Newcomers Joe Girardi, replacing Mike Stanley, and Tino Martinez, replacing Don Mattingly, get booed during pregame introductions. Girardi goes 1-for-5 batting in [...]
Each Monday during the 2013 season, I will be selecting a player of the week for the Yankees from Monday to Sunday from the previous week. There is no requirement for this selection. The only requirement is that the player contributed the most during the week, whether it’s an offensive player hitting .400 on the week, or a [...]
The analysts, experts, baseball fans, and maybe science itself don’t think the Yankees will be good this year. With the massacre of injuries and both an April starting lineup and starting rotation, with an average age of about only 33 years old (you’d think it would be higher, I know) and a couple of old [...]
For a long time now, you’ve heard the outcries. The Yankees are too old, they need to get younger. While some of this may be true, who secured the first win of the season last night? Who pitched deep into the game to preserve the bullpen? Who came in to close the door? Andy and [...]
Boston Red Sox 2 — New York Yankees 4 Andy Pettitte kept the Yankees from being swept in today’s 4-2 win over the Boston Red Sox. With two losses to start the season, the Yankees turned to Andy Pettitte to get the first win of the season. In eight innings, the 40-year-old Pettitte [...]

Threat Level: 7 Kansas City’s offseason made some headlines and turned some heads. They traded away top prospect Wil Meyers and three other prospects for James Shield and Wade Davis. These moves are clearly indicative of a “win now” philosophy, but make no mistake, this team does have young talent for years to come. [...]
New York Yankees 6 — Detroit Tigers 10 Tigers’ srong offense too much for the Yankees in today’s 10-6 loss. Andy Pettitte started today’s game and pitched well for 6.1 innings.
